Elementary...Chalk This One Up To A Grade School Memory! Creative Chalkboard Fun!

I remember vividly the all inspiring words when spoken by my elementary school teachers to "Go Write on The Board!" Oh, how I loved to hear my name called to get to write on the chalkboard wall...even if it involved math I was up for the challenge! hehehe! I remember the walk to the wall...thinking the whole time I have to use my best writing . . . this is going to be awesome . . .I get to write on the board! YES! Ahh, the things that made us happy when we were young! I guess with just having a birthday it set my mind in motion to remembering some of these special childhood memories. And with the chalkboard memory came the thought of how creative you could get with making your very own chalkboard. The paint is readily available at just about any home improvement and craft store and there's just so many things that can now be turned into an instant chalkboard . . . that in turn can spur more creative fun! So off I went on a "google search to find some creative inspirations to create magic slate.

"The Chalkboard"

I've Been Framed . . . of course! I can't resist writing on The Board! Find an old frame of any kind, spray it any color and pop in a chalkboard...add a pretty hanger and it's Just Write!

A Global Attraction to The Chalkboard! I just saw one a globe at the Goodwill yesterday! I think I may be making a trip back over there to pick up a new palette for a chalkboard. How International! hehehe!
